Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For the Toppings:
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
For Assembly:
- 4 crusty rolls or ciabatta bread
Instructions
- 1. Prep Your Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about half an inch thick.
- 2. Breading Process
- Set up a breading station: one bowl for beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, another bowl for Italian breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
- 3. Cook the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each breaded chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- 4. Add Sauce and Cheese
- Transfer fried chicken onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon marinara sauce generously over each piece of chicken and layer with slices of mozzarella cheese.
- 5. Bake
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- 6. Assemble Your Sandwich
- Toast crusty rolls or ciabatta if desired. Layer cheesy chicken on the bread, drizzle with more marinara if you like, and top with fresh basil leaves before closing.
- 7. Serve
- Cut sandwiches in half if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy!
